COSTA MESA, Calif. — Hunter Henry has been optimistic about his chances of playing this season, despite suffering a knee injury during offseason workouts.
The clock started ticking toward his possible return Monday when the Los Angeles Chargers tight end took part in practice.
Henry's return to the practice field comes nearly seven months after he tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee. He remains on the physically unable to perform list and does not count against the 53-man roster. However, Henry's practice participation does start the 21-day clock for him to be activated or placed on injured reserve for the remainder of the season.
